About me: I live in a small, dark bunker, and have to perform a series of puzzling, repetitive tasks on a computer in order to stop the world from collapsing on me... check 'em out:
These tasks may or may not matter to anyone at all, but when I can bring myself to do them, I feel a little better.
I work with online communities and as a freelance writer, and I've learned one thing for real. There are two types of people in the 21st century: people that live in the world and talk about it with computers, and people that just sit back cussing and commenting all day long. I'm trying to be one of the former as much as I can...
Who I'd like to meet: Creative, compelling, beautiful storytellers from all over the planet.
Beauty is not always pretty ... I want to meet people that know the difference.
Cool people from my past that I have lost touch with.
Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
Philip K. Dick
Also, I want to jump in a time machine and meet the first person to ever eat a crab. How hungry would you have to be to do that!?
Happy birthday to my second favorite Gemini man ever. Second only to my son :) Hope you have a great birthday and a great year. Can't believe it's been SIX YEARS since your Mama Zu birthday bash.....
hey there, mister! just thought i'd leave a little hello and say that your presence is certainly missed at the 'hall. so happy to hear that rachel fared well - hope you are too!
Jeff- did you know that a film version of The Watchmen is being made? I can't wait. If you've already known that for a long time, then don't think I'm too big of an idiot.
You know how it's comforting to know your favorite storyteller is living down the street from you? Well, at least I'll get to see you whole lots more now that you're off to NY f'ing C.
With From Brooklyn, New York... The Two Man Gentlemen Band Up-tempo, original old-time two-man music at a reasonable volume ***(live on the Bopst Show Wednesday June 6th at 3PM)***
Doors open at 7 PM All Ages Music starts at 8:15 PM
Admission is 10 dollars and includes family style meal. There will also be CD, gift certificate and t-shirt giveaways. A stellar night of food & music to celebrate the Bopst Show's continual musical penicillin in a world trying to give you audio syphilis.
I will be in VA June 9 thru June 26 finishing up the thesis and defense. I will not, however, leave the city of Richmond while I am there, because I will be just that busy. Before you decide you hate me and that I am the worst friend ever, consider this: June 16th, Saturday. Joint birthday party--Joshua Cooley and Tom Brickman. Where? The Toothman-Cooley Res. Possible entertainment--Brown Sabbath. Doesn't that warrant a Richmond visit?
